Low pressure rides along the Central Plains up the Ohio Valley today and tonight. Frontal boundary lies poised to deliver several inches of snow to Mid-Atlantic States & along the northeastern U.S... Behind the front, polar air will invade the region tonight into Friday. Winds out of the northwest will usher in subzero wind chills Friday night. NWS has a Winter Weather Advisory in effect until early Friday. Expect 4-6 inches of snow across much of WV. Upslope snow showers linger, especially in higher elevations Friday into Saturday.  Mountain counties will have on the order of 8-10 inches to start the weekend.

High pressure will gain control to keep the weekend generally dry. Weak low pressure will skirt the area Saturday night & may bring a few light snow flurries into Sunday morning. No additional accumulation will be associated with this weekend system. Otherwise we'll stay dry but still very cold and breezy  this weekend. Another wave of winter weather is on tap for Monday & Tuesday.
